so here they are!
OMG what a learning curve re. international sea freight.

just thought id post some pics now, but i will calculate pricing shortly, when i get a chance to review all the shipping payments,tax, blah blah.

also I can give weight measurement and aprox shipping price when i get the time to go to the post and ask em'

all in all, im pretty impressed with the price and quality, which looks good as you can see

I have deliberately ordered them with 5mm dia holes, so they can be used with lighter gage spokes without needing washers, and can be drilled out as necessary for larger spoke nipples, and/or at a shallower angle for large rear hubs, although i have recently laced a 16" identicle rim design to a cromotor without any angle issues or need for adjustment.

Awesome news RTL, Those rims look very nice and cant wait to get my hands on a them.
The Quality looks good and to have 5mm holes they should fit the 12 g nicely . Im Just off to Holmes to check nipple sizes now. (12 Gauge has a 4.75mm diameter)
Thank you very much.

Looking at the 18 inch rim with a Mxus 45 i got 119mm for spoke length with a 1 cross pattern. Can anyone else confirm this length before i order as nobody likes to waste money, lol.
The 19 inch rim with a Mxus has a spoke length of 131.5mm with a 1 cross pattern.

Also RTL you mentioned http://www.newsonsportec.com/spokes.php for spokes and nipples, Have you any experience with there 12 gauge spokes as i cant find a sizing of their nipple sizes and they have not emailed me back yet.

to ballarat, looks like just over 10bucks/rim postage.
doesnt seem to matter if its qty 5 or 10, price stays simlar.

i was advised by the posties that it would be cheaper in a bag then in a box. willing to do, but id need to do some serious bubble wrap work and find a huge toughbag before i am happpy to see them go like that
